Toulouse Métropole: new range of street furniture
As part of its commitment to developing and enhancing its public spaces, Toulouse Métropole is continuing to create urban spaces that are welcoming, functional and suited to a variety of uses. The choice of street furniture plays a key role in this approach: beyond its primary function, it contributes to users’ comfort, the welcoming atmosphere of these spaces and the identity of the various local developments.
Following a tender process for street furniture, Toulouse Métropole has selected Altinnova and included a wide range of items in its catalogue to support its future projects: standing-seating units, benches, seating benches, chairs, armchairs, deckchairs and tables. This diverse range of solutions caters to a wide variety of uses and layouts, whether for creating spaces for breaks, socialising, relaxation or community interaction.
This selection serves to confirm Altinnova’s ability to support local authorities in their urban development projects with solutions that combine quality, sustainability, comfort and aesthetic integration into the public space.
A wide range of street furniture supplied by Toulouse Métropole
To meet the community’s needs, a number of options have been shortlisted:
- Perch seats
- Benches
- Backless bench
- Chairs
- Armchairs
- Loungers
- Large loungers
- Tables
Combining steel and timber, these structures bring together durability, comfort and a warm presence within the urban landscape. This versatility makes it possible to create spaces suited to a variety of uses: sitting, relaxing, working, socialising or simply enjoying the public space.
Search engine optimisation that has already been implemented
The contract awarded to Altinnova has already resulted in the first orders for street furniture, including:
- LIGNIS perch seats
- LIGNIS benches
- LIGNIS chairs
- LIGNIS armchairs
- LIGNIS large loungers
These initial orders demonstrate the diversity of the equipment selected and its ability to cater for the various uses of public spaces in Toulouse.
The inclusion of these numerous solutions in the catalogue also enables Toulouse Métropole to have a consistent range of options for future developments, without having to reassess its choices for each individual project.
A one-stop partner for comprehensive public spaces
Under this contract, Toulouse Métropole can rely on a single point of contact for its development projects, ranging from street furniture to facilities designed for active transport.
At Altinnova, benches, seating, tables and social furniture can be combined with solutions for cyclists: cycle shelters, parking facilities, repair stations, and tyre-inflation or bike-washing stations.
This synergy makes it possible to design coherent spaces, tailored to pedestrians, cyclists and all users.
